Goldilocks and the Twins - Memories of KIA History

Another fun-filled trip to England! Love these girls!

Nicole Hackler, whose KIA callsign is “Goldilocks,” shares time with KIA twin sisters Jennifer Brown Alston, callsign “AB,” and Lori Brown Sagaral, callsign “LB,” pose for their trip to England, and my-o-my what a wonderful trip is was too! How fortunate they were to share some of their photos with the Karate Institute of America. Enjoy!

Here we see Nicole in the middle of the twins—Jennifer and Lori. Great smiles all!
